Ivory dishwashing soap works well too! a tablespoon to about a gallon of water helps reduce the acidity. or disolve alka seltzer, diluted of course.

That is a good one! I should try it!

they also sell dogie treats that lower the alkaline in your dogs urine ......  so no more spots

a thought you'd have to add some lime to balance the ph level.

Lime will help although too much nitrogen from the urine will still make it difficult for the grass to grow

I've been having one hell of a time with these dog pee spots.  My entire lawn was tore up at the beginning of the summer because of the spots and the holes the dumb dog dug.  To rectify the pee spots I did something like what you suggested.

 

I took a shovel and dug a little hole to loosen the dirt like six inches.  Then I combined fertilizer, dirt, and grass seed in a bucket.  I took that stuff and put it on the hole that I had just dug up.  Then I stomped it down with my foot and put a light coating of dirt over that to keep the friggen birds from eating the seed (took me two tries to figure out that they were eating the seed).  Watered daily and in about a week I had grass growing.

 

I also heard you can put a tablespoon of ketchup in your dogs chow and it will reduce the stuff in the pee that burns holes in your lawn.  I didnt try it because I do not see how that could possibly work.

Ketchup is made with vinegar, but I agree with you. I don't really see how that would do anything.
